Hello there! My name is Chris or "Boggan" as I normally go by on the interwebs. It's a pleasure to be here and to find a nice forum based community on Polytheism! Thanks to Allec for leading me here. I have been a Gaelic Polytheist for a number of years now, venerating the gods (mainly Brighid, Manannan Mac Lir, the Morrigan and the Dagda), the ancestors and the spirits in equals parts. I'm also a Unitarian Universalist who works for the UUA and am working towards ministry. I'm active over on Tumblr (you can find my spirituality blog, bogganbeliefs, here and my main personal blog, beardedboggan, here) as well as in Clann Bhride. I am also working towards membership in Gaol Naofa but I have some reservations. Outside of my religious activities, I enjoy writing, reading, fencing, crafting (mostly some very amateurishly crafted religious pieces like candles and the like - it's somewhat new to me), LARPing, gaming (roleplaying), hiking and pub crawling. And did I mention scotch? Heh. Thanks again for having me and I look forward to being part of the community! Slainte! -Chris/Boggan

Dia Duit Chris! You're very welcome Glad to have you here! You may want to read this before you sent an application to GN. If you want to talk further about what happened with GN, send me a PM I'm really interested in crafting too We have a thread about creations for polytheism things here. And you should see An Teallach too! An Teallach is a devotional shrine for Gaelic Polytheists to contribute to

I am glad to be here. Regarding GN, I had reservations about them for a number of reasons, including a gut instinct that told me to be cautious. This only confirms my suspicions. TERFs in GN as well as their outright disdain for new GPs is just disgusting. I'm so sorry you and your friends had to endure that. Terrible things to see people who don't abide by the very traditions they espouse.
I will have to post my contributions! Thanks so much!

Bah, I'm terribly late! Anyway! Hello Boggan. I'm Caly, fellow GaelPol, scotch-drinker, roleplaying nerd, and all about words, so I think we should get along! I'm sorry I was so late to greet you, I was at the National Book Fest in DC and am still getting caught up, post convention!
